#52 - AUTUMN SUNSET

Hi! So my mum and I made a cake together this past weekend. I've been looking at rainbow cakes/ red velvet cakes recently and was just itching for some. U can have a look at Cupcake Jemma's rainbow cake, it was totes uhmazing. ;P Plus, my mum wanted to bake something and to try something new. So, we present to you Autumn Sunset cake. *hits cymbals* 

- - 

We didn't have that many colors of the rainbow so we made do with what we had. Orange, pink and purple were our best options. We used a butter cake recipe which me and my bro loved! To create this cake, we had to split the batter into 3 portions and color each one individually.

The making of the batter was easy. The coloring and measuring were the more tiring ones. What I mean by tiring was how we had to be precise in our coloring because we wanted a specific color. The measuring plays a big role because we wanted each layer to come out the same way evenly and equal. So, more details had to be looked into these two areas.

Overall, the outcome turned out good! The cake was tasty and firm. The layer of cream cheese blended well with the cake as it wasn't too sweet but was a nice touch to end off the bite. 

Thanks for reading and be blessed, x. 

#49 - EAT WITH ME

Hi. I've kept these photos in my folder, just waiting for the right time to post them. So, I thought it'll be a good time to share it on my blog.

My mum makes delicious carrot cakes. I mean their the best i've ever tasted. Since I'm no food critique, maybe you'll like to try them for yourself? :) drop me an email!

Also, her cinammon buns are delicious. I don't think I could get sick of it. Kinda craving for it right now.

Lastly, I made pancakes for breakfast one morning and they turned out super nice. Not to brag.....but...they are really good. It goes well with chocolates/fresh fruits or bacon/eggs. Plus, super easy to make.

So, what do you think of this series? Let me know.

Be blessed and thanks for reading, x.

(p.s. i did create the hainan island video via my mobile, so i'll put snippets on my instagram)

(p.p.s thank you everyone who checked out my blog and gave me sweet comments personally xx)

# 20 - Chocolate Hazelnut Cake (My Mum Bakes)

Hey y'all! Time really flies! It's been 2 weeks since my holidays started and I, unlike many of my peers have accomplished only a fair bit. I don't have anything planned out to do during the holidays even though I did mention that I wanted to find a job. I took the first step of opening up Classifieds and looking through to find a job that might interest me but..nothing. I know many people would say that you would never find out if you like the job unless you try or just take up any job to gain the experience and if you don't like it, then you know that this is one of the thousands of jobs that would not fit me. I like that positive thinking but at the end of the day, I think that doing what I love to do would make me want to get out of bed and quickly start work. Yes, many factors fall in place and so does many different reasons to why I should take up any job but I don't want to be striving at work. So, that was just a piece that I had to pen down which maybe (just maybe) wasted 1 min of your time. HA.

My Mum Bakes! strikes again. This time, she made a chocolate hazelnut cake that amazingly didn't require flour but just oil and hazelnuts. (of course chocolates...) Again, I want to say that I edited the photos BEFORE I realised that someone had already taken up the name XFOCUS so, therefore, I don't intend to infringe any copyright!

They were delicious and I really love the texture of it because it was both soft and moist! Just like a piece of brownie :) yumz. Sigh, what to do, my mum is so talented and she feeds me with good stuff until I'm this big. *looks at sad tummy with 1 family pack* HAHAHA #blessed

So whilst I'm typing up this post, I'm waiting for the darn video to load. I'm currently on a My Princess marathon because SSH is just tooooo *puppy eyes* *starry eyed*. I realised that my biases (kinda weird to type this) are WAAAAAY older. LOL 

IF you have nothing to do, (like me lol) I recommend to watch this KDrama because it touches on issues like the old vs new and politics. Not only that, I think the character types are interesting because of the r/s and conflicting feelings. ALSO, A LOT OF SUBTEXT therefore thinking about what the characters say and feel goes through my mind a lot. Thanks to theatre teachings. HAHA Have fun watching!

As always,

Thanks for reading, x.

# 19 - Ahoy! (My Mum Bakes)

A while back, my mum made some really delicious Fisherman's Pie for dinner. It was the best, as always :) It had a layer of cheese on the top and the pie was mixed with a cream base. The filling consisted of potato, ham, egg and black pepper. The most important ingredient was literally, FISH! (DUH)

On another note, I just found out that someone else has already taken up 'XFOCUS Photography' after I edited the photos. Silly. Anyway, I shifted my 'portfolio' to http://xfocusbyjoywe.wordpress.com/ so you can just view the photos there! Or, you can click the links on the side >>>

As usual,

Thanks for reading, x.
